Purraperrara, July $1.—After being out for fourteen weeks the strike of the cloak makers here has ended ina victory for the laboring men. The negotiations for the termination of the fight have been in progress for a week past, during which time the committeesof the Cloak Makers’ Union, No. 1, have had three confer- ences with the members of the Cloak Manu- facturers’ Association. The result of their negotiations was announced last night at the meeting of the union. Most of the demands of the members of the union have been agreed to. e concessicns made by the manufacturers are that they will employ only union men and discharge the non-union men at present in their employ. On the other hand, the union men agreed to allow the non-union mon who desire to do so to join the union. The question of wages has to be decided, ® committee of eight members of the union being appointed last eveni the manufacturers conc ossible the contract will be signed at once. ‘he strike was a costly one to the union men. In some cases the strikers have been reduced to destitution. —— THE BOMBARDMENT. AThousand Killed and Five Thousand ‘Wounded at Buenos Ayres.

New Yorn, July $1.—The Bank of England raised its minimum rate of discount this morn- ing to 5 per cent and precipitated a selling movement in London. and the declines from last night's figures there extended to over 1 per cent in St, Paul, Norfolk and Western preferred, Atchingon and Union Pacific. and this market responded with declines of 134 in St. Paul and 1 each Lackawana, Louisville and Nashvillo and Rock Island. while the others were down generally from }¢ to per cent. Among the specialties, however, Edison general electric was down 43¢ Lert centat 1073¢. Excopt in the last mentioned stock, which retired to 105, and in Atchison and Reading, which declined 3¢ and 5 respectively, the decline made no further progress, but fractional recoveries fol- lowed over the whole list, New England and sugar leading with gainsof 9 per cent each. The strong spot in the market, however, was silver certificates, which were advanced to 112 on an unusually largo business, Considerable animation attended the early trading, but the market gradually sank into the usual dullness and the later dealings were marked by no feature other than the furthor decline in Edison electric and the further ad- vance in silver certificates, aie a FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ee Pe ud York Stock Market. 1e following are the opening and closing prices of the Now York Stock Market, se reported by special Mire to Gormon and Macartney, 1410 F stroot: | > ‘s > Ball T Can, Bou!

A Bill to Compell Their Attendance and Make Them Testify. Evidently the handiwork of the District Com< missioners was a bill introduced today by Sen- ator Harris, by request, The bill is entitled “A bill to compel the attendance of witnesses on police trials in the District of Columbia and for other purposes,” It provides, ‘That hereafter in all police hearings or trials in the District of Columbia before the Commissioners or any trial board organized for the trial of members of the metropolitan police force for violations of the rules and regulations governing the force any person who shall have been duly sammoned to appear and testify before the Commissioners or such board, as the case may be, shall disobey such summons, or who, after hav- in yaance of such summons, or in the nee of said Commission- ers or trial board, shall refuse to be sworn and give testimony on interrogations to such facts as may be within his or her know! touching the matter under intestigation sh: be deemed and held to be guilty of contempt, and shall thereupon, on the watrant of Comwissioners, be imprisoned in the common jail of said District until or she shall have if or herself of suc!

The Coggswell Fountain Will be Placed in Running Order. ‘Tho Commissioners issued an order Monday directing that the Coggswell fountain, at the corner of 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue, should be put in complete running order. It will probably be some time, however, before the water is started, as « num of alterations and improvements will be made. If would seom that _ th pinned fountain was not very well in the first place and Capt. Lusk has madi plans for a decided improvement {o it. The plans have been approved by the Commisston- ers and the work will proceed at once, The ice box below for cooling the water will be en- tirely rearranged, so that the hot air cannot in as readily as it di thus maklig & great saving in the amount o: ice used, and the coila of Ripe hrough which the water run and which have become bad); clogged will be ired ora new one 81 tuted. The fan are to be arranged #0 th: the water will not run continuously, but only as required, This will insure colder water and will probably keop the water from being spattered around on the pavements as was formerly the onase. A better system of drainage will also be sub- etituted to keep the sidewalks dty and to pre- vent the fountain from becoming a nuisance to pedestrians. Ee AN OFFICE BUT NO MAN. A Three Thousand Dollar Place Look- ing for a Qualified Man, An office seeking ® man is rate, though not unheard of. But for an office toseek a man and not be able to find one is so unusual as to be almost anique. Such, however, seems to be the fate of the foreign office, Post Office Department, Since Nicholas M. Bell, who was pathos by Mr, Cleveland, placed his resignation in Postmaster Gencral Wanamaker's hands, which is now over a year ago, the office has been vacant. Not that there is no one who waute the place. e are at least twelve ap- ications on file some of the candidates ave strong ae But none of them quite fill the bill, at least in Mr. Wanamaker's opinion. The place pays €3,000and the Secteie in to have some knowledge of the modern nager,as the office has charge of the branch of fie postal service which has to do with foreign countries, However, the salary these qualifications, if the latter are insisted upon, do not «om to bars monize, Mr. Cleveland aid Bot cook it. Capt. Brooks, the chief olerk of the office, has been performing the duties of the office for the past year. but he has not been @rawing the salary. It has been suggested thata civil service examination be held for the “aes as itie thought the right man could be found in that way. CAPITOL TOPICS, THE LAND ORANT FORFEITURE BILL. The conferees on the land grant forfeiture Dill bave about come to an agroe- ment upon the measure, and will probably formally conclude their report at the next meeting. It is understood that the measure agreed upon provides for an absolute forfeiture of the lands described in the act. The section of the House bill looking to further forfeitures of lands is said to have been stricken out. NOTES. A joint resolution, wee Lieut. Col, Henry: C.

The Conferees Fail to Agree So Far— Shall the Government Make Its Guns? The fortification bill is having a hard time getting through the conference. A meeting of the conferees was held today without result, and they expect to try again later this evening. The Senate is insisting on the encouragement of private enterprise in the manufacture of guns and the House is in favor of building a wing to the Watervliet arsenal and the enlargement of the plant for the manufacture of guus by the government, The House conferces hold that the only way the government can be eure of getting good guns and getting them when wanted is to Manufacture them. They contend that priv- ate individuals are not willing to spend their money for large plants unless they are assured of large profits, The matter will probably be compromised by providing for the extension of the govern- ment arsenal and giving some monoy for the purchase of guns made by private firma.

The Spenker and hie friends are having a difficult time of it trying to settle the perples- ing public buildis question. They are trying to come to some sort of agreement by which some of the bilis may be passed, not exceeding the average appropriations for buildings, which is about seven millions. Bo far the buildings provided for do not aggregate that amount. but it is nextto impossible to select a few out of the 20,000,000 worth on the calendar, As they state it no one thinks $20,000,000 should be appropri- ated for buildings this year, but each thinks his bill should be one of those passe: In view of this situation, it looks as if no more would be allowed to pass the House.
